Study of the Effect of Microplastics on the Generation of Chlorinated Disinfection Byproducts of Ciprofloxacin
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how polypropylene, polyethylene, and polystyrene microplastics affect the formation of chlorinated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) when the antibiotic ciprofloxacin is chlorinated during water treatment, finding that microplastics had minimal effect on overall DBP generation. The study clarifies that while microplastics co-occur with antibiotics in treated water, they do not substantially amplify the formation of toxic chlorinated byproducts during disinfection — an important finding for drinking water safety assessment.
Impact of non-aged and UV-aged microplastics on the formation of halogenated disinfection byproducts during chlorination of drinking water and its mechanism
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers investigated how both new and UV-aged microplastics affect the formation of halogenated disinfection byproducts during chlorine treatment of drinking water. They found that non-aged microplastics reduced byproduct formation by adsorbing organic precursors, while UV-aged microplastics had a much smaller reduction effect because they release organic compounds that offset adsorption. The study reveals that environmental aging of microplastics changes their impact on drinking water treatment chemistry in important ways.
Leaching of organic matters and formation of disinfection by-product as a result of presence of microplastics in natural freshwaters
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that microplastics leach dissolved organic carbon into freshwater, and when combined with chlorine disinfection, this leached material promotes the formation of disinfection byproducts like chloroform in drinking water treatment.
Effects of microplastics on DBPs formation under the chlorination of natural organic matters
